Komm Doch Heim

He rode away, chasing dreams
Riding into the morning glow
I stayed behind and watched him go
And wanted to be strong and brave
I count the days and make notches in the wood
My gaze goes into the distance
But in the nights, I forget my pride
And pray for him to come back

He's a rider, a rider, a rider
Come home, come home
He's a rider, a rider, a rider
Come home, come home
He's a rider, a rider, a rider
Come home, come home
Home to me
Because I'm so alone

I hear the wind, time slips away
The third summer passes by
If he's still alive
I long so
For the touch of his hand
And yet I can wait like the other women
If only the black night wasn't there
The fire smolders only
Smoke rises in the eyes
Soon I'll have no more tears

He's a rider, a rider, a rider
Come home, come home
He's a rider, a rider, a rider
Come home, come home
He's a rider, a rider, a rider
Come home, come home
Home to me
Because I'm so alone

And he rides and rides and rides
Always further and further
Because a fire burns in him
And he rides and rides and rides
Always further and further
Because his longing is far from satisfied
And he rides and rides and rides
Always further and further
He doesn't know what tomorrow holds for him
And he rides and rides and rides
Always further and further
But he rides through the cold morning glow

Come home, come home

He's a rider, a rider, a rider
Come home, come home
He's a rider, a rider, a rider
Come home, come home
He's a rider, a rider, a rider
Come home, come home
Home to me
Because I'm
So alone
